Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 239 / Thursday, December 14, 2023 / Notices 86729 

‘‘Hazardous Materials Transportation 

Safety Improvement Act of 2015’’ (see 

sections 7001 through 7311) and 

instructs the Secretary of Transportation 

to make specific regulatory amendments 

to the Hazardous Materials Regulations 

(HMR; 49 CFR parts 171–180), including 

requirements for rail tank car 

manufacturers to report their progress 

toward modifying rail tank cars used for 

the transportation of Class 3 flammable 

liquids in accordance with the timeline 

established in section 7304 of the FAST 

Act. 

This notice is applicable to section 

7308(c) of the FAST Act which directs 

the Secretary to conduct an annual 

survey of tank car shops to acquire 

projections of the number of tank cars 

to be built or manufactured to the new 

safer specifications. This includes new 

tank cars built to the DOT Specification 

117, or equivalent, as well as tank cars 

modified to the DOT Specification 

117R. Tank cars will include, but may 

not be limited to, those originally built 

to Specifications: DOT105, DOT109, 

DOT111, DOT112, DOT114, DOT115, 

and DOT120. 

Respondents: There are 

approximately 400 tank car facilities 

that are currently registered or certified 

to build or modify tank cars. However, 

the majority of these do not have the 

capacity to modify or build to the 117 

or 117R Specifications. At most, an 

estimated 140 tank car shops have the 

capacity to build or modify to these new 

safety standards. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: An estimated 140 facilities 

will provide a response to this request 

for information on an annual basis. It 

will take approximately 30 minutes to 

complete, including record keeping and 

reporting. This notice is intended to 

accurately account for the annual 

burden. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: The 

estimated burden is equal to 70 annual 

burden hours (i.e., 140 responses per 

year × 0.5 hour per response). The total 

burden cost is estimated at $3,665 (i.e., 

70 burden hours × $52.36 per hour for 

a manager in Transportation, Storage, 

and Distribution). 

Frequency: The survey frequency is 

prescribed by section 7308(d) of the 

FAST Act. Specifically, the Secretary is 

required to conduct the survey annually 

until May 1, 2029 under section 7308(c). 

Public Comments Invited: Interested 

parties are invited to send comments 

regarding any aspect of this information 

collection, including, but not limited to: 

(1) the necessity and utility of the 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

DOT; (2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, clarity and content of the 

collected information; and (4) ways to 

minimize the collection burden without 

reducing the quality of the collected 

information. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be 

summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB’s clearance of this 

information collection.
